의료용 선형가속기 (linear accelerator)와 나선형 컴퓨터 단층 촬영 장치 (helical computed tomography scanner)의 결합 장치인 토모테라피는 세기 변조 방사선 치료 (intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT))의 큰 혁신을 이끌었다. 토모테라피 치료 과정에서, Megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) 영상획득은 치료 환자의 정확한 자세 정렬을 위해 치료 전 또는 후에 이용된다. 그러나 이는 환자의 총 선량을 증가시키는 결과를 만들며, 본 연구는 이처럼 MVCT 영상 획득 시 증가되는 선량을 Cylindrical "Cheese" Phantom을 이용하여 측정, 비교하였다. 각각의 pitch 별로 (1, 2, 3 mm) 동일한 개수의 slice (10 slice), 그리고 동일한 length (약 9 cm)를 scanning하여, 이때의 선량 (MVCT Scanning Dose)을 A1SL ion chamber를 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정 결과 동일한 Slice 개수 (각각의 pitch 당 10개)일 때, MVCT scanning dose의 평균값은 각각 (pitch 1, 2, 3mm) 2.24 cGy, 1.02 cGy, 0.81 cGy가 측정되었다. 동일한 length에서 MVCT scanning dose의 평균값은 각각 (pitch 1, 2, 3mm) 2.47 cGy, 1.28 cGy, 0.88 cGy가 측정되었다. 이는 할당된 pitch와 scanning length가 MVCT scanning dose에 큰 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 매개 변수임을 말하며, pitch는 MVCT scanning dose와 역비례 관계를 나타냈다. 때문에 적절한 pitch와 scanning length의 선택으로 치료 선량 외의 추가 선량을 최소로 줄여야 하겠다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the pitch pattern of Korean accentual phrases produced by Chinese Korean-learners in the reading of a Korean text. Korean accentual phrase is determined by a specific F0 contour. And the pitch contour of APs differ depending on their length and the nature of initial segment. In order to examine if Chinese speakers are also aware such a phonetic properties, we have examined the AP pitch contours produced by 15 Chinese speakers differing in proficiency, and compared them to pitch contours produced by six Korean native speakers. The results show that Chinese speakers' pitch errors were observed in initial segment-tone interaction and in type of pitch patterns. However, even though Chines speakers produced the same type of pitch patterns, internal tonal modulation differs from native speakers. Finally, on the basis of theses results, we proposed a teaching method that visualizes the F0 contour.

The purpose of this study was to examine the prosody characteristics of sentence-level utterances which contain homographs with context cues in patients with neurogenic communication disorders. Homographs which may be affected by prosody, especially tonic length features, were used to investigate this matter. The characteristics of tone, duration, pitch, and pitch peak were analyzed to examine the characteristics of prosody in patients with lesions in the left or right hemisphere and normal controls. The whole process was recorded using Praat 4.3.14 and for statistical analyses, three-way ANOVA and multiple comparative analyses, Chi-Square tests, and a one-way ANOVA were carried out using SPSS 12.0 for Windows. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the length of syllables and vowels in homographs in Korean was different depending on the meaning and was not significant between groups. Second, it was found that patients with lesions in the right hemisphere had significant difference on pitch. Third, it was found that frequency of pitch peak and tone in 'short' tone syllables were different between groups. The conclusion of this study found that the prosody of homographs between groups absolutely was not differentiated. Accordingly, more detailed studies of acoustic parameters and other parameters which the prosody characteristic between groups could be found are needed in the future.

Microscopy has enabled the development of many advanced technologies, and higher level microscopic techniques are required according to the increase of research in nano-technology and bio-technology fields. Therefore, in many applications, we need to measure the dimension of micro-scale parts accurately, not just to observe their shapes. To establish the meter-traceability in microscopy, gratings have been widely used as a magnification standard. KRISS provides the certification service of magnification standards using an optical diffractometer and a metrological AFM (MAFM). They are based on different measurement principles, and so can give complementary information for each other. In this paper, we describe the configuration of each system and measurement procedures to certificate grating pitch values of magnification standards. Several measurement results are presented, and the discussion about them are also given. Using the optical diffractometer, we can calibrate a grating specimen with uncertainty of less than 50 pm. The MAFM can measure a grating specimen of down to 100 nm pitch value, and the calibrated values usually have uncertainty less than 500 pm.

본 논문에서는 자수된 SF-MPAA 구현을 위해 방사체를 자수로 구현할 경우 방사체 구조에 따른 SF-MPAA의 특성을 조사 하였다. 자수된 방사체의 길이방향의 그리드 수와 폭 방향의 그리드 수를 줄여서 피치를 늘렸을 때 안테나 이득과 공진주파수는 추세적으로 감소하였다. 그러나 안테나 특성은 폭 방향의 피치에는 크게 영향을 받으나 길이 방향의 피치에는 상대적으로 영향을 적게 받았다. 따라서 도체비율을 줄이기 위해 길이 방향의 그리드 수를 줄이는 것이 유리함을 알 수 있었다. SLL은 피치보다는 길이와 폭 방향 피치의 조합에 영향을 받았다. 자수된 방사체의 도체비율은 자수실 굵기에 대한 피치의 비율로 결정이 되었다. 이 비율이 5이하에서는 도체비율이 급격히 감소했고 5이상에서는 포화되어 서서히 감소했다.

For this study, the external laryngeal lengths of 9 females and 9 males with normal voices were measured together with their ages, heights, and weights, and after they read aloud sentences for 3 minutes, their habitual speaking fundamental frequencies, speaking low pitches, speaking high pitches, and vocal fold closed quotients were measured. The Spearman rank correlation analysis on these data showed a significant negative correlation between the external laryngeal length and the habitual speaking fundamental frequency for both females and males, a significant negative correlation between the external laryngeal length and the speaking high pitch for only males, a significant negative correlation between the external laryngeal length and the speaking low pitch for both females and males, and a significant positive correlation between the external laryngeal length and the vocal fold closed quotient for only males.

For clarifying the mechanical phenomena of thermal elasto-plastic behavior on the multi-spot welded joints, this study has tried to carry out three-dimensional thermal elasto-plastic analysis on them. However, because the shape of multi-spot welded joints is not axi-symmetric, unlike the case of single-spot welded joint, the solution domain for simulation should be three-dimensional. Therefore, in this paper, from the results analyzed using the developed the three dimensional unstationary heat conduction and thermal elasto-plastic programs by an iso-parametric finite element method, mechanical characteristics and their production mechanism on single- and multispot welded joints were clarified. Moreover, effects of pitch length on temperature, welding residual stresses and plastic strain of multi-spot welded joints were evaluated, indicating that a pitch of 30mm was advantageous compared to a pitch of 15mm.

Oval gears are typical kinds of non-circular gears and are widely used in flow meters. This paper presents a tooth profile design of an oval gear according to the curvature of the pitch curve. The length of the pitch oval is divided by the number of teeth and the curvature of the divided points is obtained. The tooth profile is designed on the circle of the curvature as if it is the pitch circle of a gear. The teeth of the oval gear have the same module and pressure angle, but the pitch circle of each tooth differs in size. Thus, the teeth on the divided points of the pitch oval are different in shape. This type of oval gear will improve the meshing properties.

The factors involved in controlling the vocal pitch are the tension, the mass, the length of the vocal cords and the subglottic pressure. Vocal pitch can be elevated surgically by increasing the stiffness or reducing the vibrating mass of the vocal cords. Recently, we experienced a case of 25 year-old female whose vocal pitch was elevated with radiofrequency surgery of right vocal cord on suspension laryngoscopy. Elevation of vocal pitch(134.11 to 144.73) was noted two months after operation. So we report this case with review of literature.

Even though there were no clear definitions of the short game and short game distance, short game capability is crucial for a good golf score. Generally, chip shot and pitch shot are regarded as two principal components of the short game. Chip shot is a short, low trajectory shot played to the green or from trouble back into play. Pitch shot is a high trajectory shot of short length. Biomechanical studies were conducted usually to analyze full swing and putting motions. The purpose of the study was to reveal the kinematical differences between professional golfers' 30 yard $53^{\circ}wedge$ chip shot and $56^{\circ}wedge$ pitch shot motions. Fifteen male professional golfers were recruited for the study. Kinematical data were collected by the 60 Hz three-dimensional motion analysis system. Statistical comparisons were made by paired t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan of the SPSS 12.0K with the $\alpha$ value of .05. Results show that both the left hand and the ball were placed left of the center of the left and right foot at address. The left hand position of the chip shot was significantly left side of that of the pitch shot. But the ball position of the pitch shot was significantly right side of that of the chip shot. All body segments aligned to the left of the target line, open, at address. Except shoulder, there were no significant pelvis, knee, and feet alignment differences between chip shot and pitch shot. These differences at address seem for the ball height control. Pitch shot swing motions(the shoulder and pelvis rotation and the club head travel distance) were significantly bigger than those of the chip shot. Club head velocity of the pitch shot was significantly faster than that of the chip shot at the moment of impact. This was for the same shot length control with different lofted clubs. Swing motion differences seem mainly caused by the same shot length control with different ball height control.
